You also need to have the Test key in reg with the same values as first key listed in that reg I posted. So you need the values for: Updated, Pages, DataSource, GUID, Layout, LocName.

Make those values something like this:
Updated -- make this as dword, value of 0 or 1
Pages -- this is your list of pages your using in this panel
DataSource -- this shoud be set to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Test
GUID -- just copy the same
Layout -- 'Test', this tells it the name to look for in the cpr files
LocName -- 'Test'

In the pages registry keys, make sure whatever the image and text lines are called in the cpr are listed here. This GUID reads the info based on name given in cpr. So if cpr says: <Image ID="Image 1" Left="350" Top="-4" Width="100" Height="100" />
then registry needs to have entry called Image 1 for it to read. For text that looks like this in cpr: <Text ID="Text 1" Left="20" Top="52" Width="348" Height="42" FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="10" FontStyle="Bold" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">
then registry needs entry called Text 1.

The other GUID's used those names in cpr, but in registry they sometimes had different names and must have been loaded by chome on launch. This GUID can have values changed in registry, and if you toggle the Updated value from 1 to 0(or 0 to 1) then that whole panel reloads without needing to restart chome plugin or soft reset. I'm going to try to learn some programming to make a app to allow easy customization based on this GUID, but since I have little experience, it might take week or two.

Wow! I'm actually quit amazed how clear this seems now. I'm going to start from scratch on StarMans new rom, and see if I can make this work. As far as experience goes, you seem like you know what you are doing to me! Thanks!
